Bill Summary
CONCERNING DATA REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR K-12 SCHOOLS.
AI Summary
This bill addresses the burden of data reporting requirements on K-12 schools in Colorado by implementing several key changes. Based on a 2017-18 survey that found educational data reporting was straining local education providers' resources, the bill requires the Colorado Department of Education to develop a streamlined format for school and district performance plans that consolidates various state, federal, and grant reporting requirements. The new format will allow schools and districts to attach locally-developed action portions of their plans while maintaining a centralized submission system. The department must collect user feedback by August 31, 2025, to assess the usefulness of this new streamlined format and improve the centralized system. The legislative declaration emphasizes that data reporting collections must be carefully examined to ensure they do not divert time and resources away from student achievement, noting that rural school districts spend twice as much of their budget on data reporting compared to larger districts, and that reporting costs have increased by over 53% since 1998. Additionally, the bill calls for a moratorium on new data reporting requirements while the department conducts a comprehensive data audit to evaluate existing reporting demands.
